But that isn't until later in 08 and start of 09 if I am not mistaken. The Bro's don't seem to be flying out of here to fast and I haven't seen hardly any spares sitting over on the MX ramp in FAT anymore. We are however loosing the ONT and SNA flying next month. Probably need these planes for more IYK flying! Ok, I was just kiddin there!
Also I’ve never felt pilot fatigue like I did on an 8 leg day in the middle of July or August on the Bro.
HOT!!!!!

Just had a converstaion with a SKW pilot, who said he had been talking to some other SKW CRJ pilots in other domiciles than himself. He said they were getting lousy schedules, 4 days on 2 days off all the time and that Captains out of his domicile were working tough schedules too. Is that true? He also said something about SKW having "part time" pilots? ***?
